Police said Nicholas Rec, 23, died less than an hour later, at 3 a.m., after being transported to Morton Hospital. His female companion allegedly told cops the two of them injected heroin together four hours prior to his collapsing on the floor.

A 30-year-old man reportedly overdosed Friday just after 6 p.m. at 231 Lothrop St. Police saif he was revived after being given the opiate blocker Narcan and transported to Morton Hospital for evaluation.

Police said they responded in February to a report of an overdose at the same house.
